Study Description

NOTE: Enrollment for DIPG and DMG has been discontinued. This study is only opened for patients with HGG without a H3 K27M mutation. 

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of selinexor given in combination with standard radiation therapy in treating children and young adults with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) with a genetic change called H3 K27M mutation.

It also tests whether combination of selinexor and standard radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in this patient population. Glioma is a type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spine. Glioma is considered high risk (or high-grade) when it is growing and spreading quickly. The term, risk, refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. DIPG is a subtype of HGG that grows in the pons (a part of the brainstem that controls functions like breathing, swallowing, speaking, and eye movements). This trial has two parts. The only difference in treatment between the two parts is that some subjects treated in Part 1 may receive a different dose of selinexor than the subjects treated in Part 2. In Part 1 (also called the Dose-Finding Phase), investigators want to determine the dose of selinexor that can be given without causing side effects that are too severe. This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part 2 (also called the Efficacy Phase), investigators want to find out how effective the MTD of selinexor is against HGG or DIPG.

Selinexor blocks a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. It is a type of small molecule inhibitor called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. The combination of selinexor and radiation therapy may be effective in treating patients with newly-diagnosed DIPG and H3 K27M-Mutant HGG.

 

CHEMORADIOTHERAPY: Patients receive standard of care radiation therapy 5 days per week for 5-7 weeks. Starting on day 4 or 5 of radiation therapy, patients receive selinexor orally (PO) on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, and 50 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a 2-week rest period, patients proceed to Maintenance. Patients undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and may undergo a biopsy during screening.

MAINTENANCE: Patients receive selinexor PO on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 cycles of maintenance therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a MRI on study and during follow-up.

FOLLOW UP: After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for year 1 (i.e., 3, 6, 9, 12 months), then every 6 months for years 2-3 (i.e., 18, 24, 30, 36 months), and finally once yearly for years 4-5 of this study.

Study Description

This is a phase I, open label, plus expansion clinical trial evaluating the safety and tolerability of rHSC-DIPGVax in combination with BALSTILIMAB and ZALIFRELIMAB using a 3+3 design for subjects with newly diagnosed DIPG or DMG following completion of radiation therapy. Given this is a first in-human study of rHSC-DIPGVax, an initial study "Lead In" will assess the tolerability of vaccine monotherapy first in older children (ages 5 to 18 years of age) followed by younger children (12 months to 18 years of age).

Sequential Parts A and B of this study will also first enroll patients ages 5 to 18 years of age before enrolling younger children. The rationale for the combination of vaccine and anti-PD1 therapy includes evidence of a more profound intra-tumoral response with addition of inhibition of negative co-regulatory pathways, such as, PD1/PDL1 and the need to overcome potentially immunosuppressive or immune "cold" microenvironment of gliomas. Anti-CLTA4 therapy will also be combined with rHSC-DIPGVax in the dose escalation portion of this study because of the ability of anti-CTLA4 therapy to induce T cell priming to promote T memory formation. Given the lack of standard treatment options for DIPG and DMG patients, this clinical trial will use combinatorial immunotherapy in upfront treatment of these patients in hopes of maximizing potential efficacy in this at-risk population while still assessing safety throughout.

Part A will evaluate rHSC-DIPGVax plus BALSTILIMAB. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of BALSTILIMAB will also be evaluated to assess exposure. If the rHSC-DIPGVax plus BALSTILIMAB is well tolerated in Part A for 28-days, this study will then move to enrolling Part B to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rHSC-DIPGVax and BALSTILIMAB in combination with ZALIFRELIMAB at two dose levels for a total therapy duration of one year or twenty-seven cycles, whichever occurs first.

Advancement from Part A to Part B and dose escalation in Part B will follow a conservative 3+3 design. The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) monitoring period will last 28 days (2 cycles) for Part A subjects and 42 days (1 cycle) for Part B. Subjects will be allowed to continue on in Part A for twenty-seven 14-day cycles or nine 42-day cycles in Part B or 1 year of total therapy, whichever comes first.

After the RP2D of ZALIFRELIMAB is determined, Part C, the expansion arm, will enroll further subjects at this dose level to assess futility versus efficacy. All subjects in trial Part C will be monitored for dose limiting toxicities for the duration of their participation in the study to monitor for excess toxicity.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with newly diagnosed typical or non-typical, biopsy-proven DIPG or DMG are eligible for study enrollment. Biopsy is not required for subjects with radiographically typical DIPG meeting imaging criteria. Biopsy is required for DMG's and non-radiographically typical DIPG. Histone mutation must be confirmed by pathology report. Radiographically typical DIPG defined as a tumor with a pontine epicenter and diffuse involvement of more than 2/3 of the pons.
  • Subjects ages > or = to 12 months and < or = 18 years ("Lead In", Part A, and Part B require first three patients be > or = to 12 years of age)
  • BSA > or = 0.35m2 at the time of study enrollment
  • Performance score: Karnofsky >50% of subjects >16 years of age and Lansky > or = 50 for subjects < or = 16 years of age. Subjects who are unable to walk because of paralysis but are up in a wheelchair will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.
  • Must start radiation therapy within 42 days from date of diagnostic imaging. C1D1 must be within 42 days to 70 days post radiation (6-10 weeks). Patients CANNOT receive temozolomide during radiation

Study Description

 

 This study is eligible for STEP-1 funding. Find more information here

 

This phase I/II trial studies how well tiragolumab and atezolizumab works when given to children and adults with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors that that has either come back (relapsed) or does not respond to therapy (refractory). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficiency means that tumor cells are missing the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, seen with some aggressive cancers that are typically hard to treat. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tiragolumab and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

 

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to Part A or Part B.

Please note: Part A is now complete. 

PART A: Patients receive tiragolumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on day 1 of each cycle and atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle starting in cycle 2. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo standard imaging scans including x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and/or positron emission tomography (PET)-CT throughout the trial. Patients also undergo blood sample collection on study.

PART B: Patients receive atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 and tiragolumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo standard imaging scans including x-rays, CT, MRI, and/or FDG PET-CT, throughout the trial. Patients also undergo blood sample collection on study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at months 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60, up to 5 years.

 

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety of tiragolumab as monotherapy in pediatric patients (<18 years) with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors. (Part A) II. To evaluate antitumor activity of the combination of tiragolumab and atezolizumab as assessed by objective response rate in patients with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 (for non-central nervous system [CNS] tumors) or CNS response criteria (for CNS tumors). (Part B) III. To evaluate the safety and adverse event profile of this combination therapy in subjects with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors, with a particular focus in pediatric patients < 12 years of age.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of tiragolumab alone in part A and tiragolumab and atezolizumab (part A and B) when given in combination in pediatric, adolescents and young adults, and adult patients.

II. To estimate the PFS (progression free survival), OS (overall survival), and duration of response of combination tiragolumab and atezolizumab in patients with SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 deficient tumors.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the association of response rate to somatic genetic mutations of SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 and PD-L1 expression.

II. To assess the association of response rate to the molecular subtypes of rhabdoid/atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT).

III. To assess changes in circulating and tumoral immune markers in patients treated with this combination therapy and correlate to response when feasible.

Study Description

A Phase I open-label, multicentre study to determine the RP2D of olaparib monotherapy in the paediatric population, and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PDx and preliminary efficacy of olaparib monotherapy in paediatric patients from ≥6 months to <18 years of age at enrolment, with relapsed or refractory solid or primary CNS tumours (excluding lymphoid malignancies) for whom there are no standard treatment options. It is anticipated that eligible patients fulfilling all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, will include but will not be limited to those with osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma, Ewing Sarcoma, neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and glioma.

Inclusion Criteria

Study Description

Brief Summary:

FIREFLY-1 is a Phase 2, multi center, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral pan-RAF inhibitor DAY101 in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients with recurrent or progressive low-grade glioma harboring a known BRAF alteration.

Detailed Description:

Approximately 60 pediatric patients will be treated with DAY101, an oral pan-RAF inhibitor, for a planned period of 26 cycles will be treated with DAY101 for a planned period of 26 cycles (approximately 24 months).

DAY101 will be administered at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 420 mg/m2 (not to exceed 600 mg) orally once weekly (QW) for each 28-day treatment cycle.

Treatment cycles will repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will undergo radiographic evaluation of their disease at the end of every third cycle. Patients will continue on DAY101 until radiographic evidence of disease progression by RANO criteria as determined by treating investigator, unacceptable toxicity, patient withdrawal of consent, or death.

Patients who have radiographic evidence of disease progression may be allowed to continue DAY101 if, in the opinion of the investigator and approval by the Sponsor, the patient is deriving clinical benefit from continuing study treatment. Disease assessments for patients being treated beyond progression should continue as per regular schedule.

DAY101 is an oral pan-RAF inhibitor administered as an oral tablet at 420 mg/m2 (not to exceed 600 mg).

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age 6 months to 25 years with a relapsed or progressive LGG or solid tumor with known activating RAF alteration (BRAF or CRAF/RAF1 fusion or BRAF V600 mutations (LGG only))
  • Confirmation of histopathologic diagnosis of LGG or solid tumor and molecular diagnosis of activating RAF alteration (BRAF or CRAF/RAF1 fusion or BRAF V600 mutations (LGG only))
  • Must have received at least one line of systemic therapy and have evidence of radiographic progression
  • Must have at least 1 measurable lesion as defined by RANO criteria
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient's tumor has additional previously-known activating molecular alterations
  • Patient has symptoms of clinical progression in the absence of radiographic progression
  • Known or suspected diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1)
  • Other inclusion/exclusion criteria as stipulated by protocol may apply
